Description[]

Lens McCraken is a picture zoom puzzle game. Photographer Lens McCracken will present a case, and will show three pictures taken during the event. However, all the pictures are extremely zoomed in. The goal is to guess the 3 items in the pictures. Lens will give subtle hints as he shows you the pictures.

Eventually, Lens will put the photos into a machine known as the Solutionator, which will produce a non-zoomed image of the item.

Afterwards, Lens will describe an absurd description of the case involving the three items.

Tips and Tricks[]

This is one of the easier games. All you do is guess what the picture is.

Even if you don't get it at first, Lens will provide very obvious hints, such as a picture of snack pretzels saying you have to "crunch" the data.
